Assuming Fulmer does go....

Whoa... easy, let's pull back on the reins a little bit. I'm thinking more along the lines of $3-3.5 million with incentives maybe bringing it to 4.5... maybe. He may just go and get a lower profile guy (which is what I think he will do) and maybe play around in the $2 million range. Keep in mind that UT would still have to buyout Fulmer and his staff's remaining contracts. If our next coach get anywhere near $5 million, I would be shocked.

no no no, that's what the yanks offered torre. was kidding.

...what are the realistic chances the University will go "outside the family" for a replacement? I hear names like Gruden, Stoops, Tedford, Pelini, etc...all the time on this board. I was just wandering why, strictly from a realistic standpoint, somebody like Cutcliff would not be a very real possibility. Not saying Cut is my first choice, just pointing out the possibility is there with MH and company running things.

Also, I think I know the answer to this, but are there really any Fulmer supporters left on this board? Can we all call for Fulmer's job now without being convicted of being bad, fairweather, disloyal, and Vol hating fans?

RAILBIRDS. There's nothing wrong with being a RAILBIRD so long as it does not hurt the team and offer a fix and take responsibility if things get's worse.

I dont see why Gruden would come here when he is a lock for any nfl coaching job that opens after this season.

If Stoops wouldnt leave for Florida, then there is no way he would leave for UT.

I say we hire Petrino. He's already lost the Falcons even though the season isnt halfway over. We know he wont stay in the nfl like almost all the other college coaches that come before him.

maybe he would want to make a change, altogether. it's obviously not likely, but he hasnt had a ton of success after his SB win. it would be easier leaving the NFL, having reached the pinnacle and college coaching jobs are really high profile these days. just a thought. i read somewhere either here or somewhere else about him going to Philly. i just cant see that happening.

Gruden's getting unpopular in Tampa after that 1 title with Dungy's players. He better start winning big soon, or they'll run him out of town. UT needs to make him a huge offer right now, like bama did with Saban. $4.5 million will do it.

I think we can all agree that change is forthcoming, the only question is to what degree? will it only be an overhaul of the d staff or a complete house cleaning? it honestly would not suprise me if Fulmer manages to hang on for another year.


I agree...

what about a guy like Bobby Johnson? He knows the recruiting of the SEC and any guy that can turn around the Vandy program should be good in our book, right??:huh:
Exactly how has Johnson "turned Vanderbilt around?" He has essentially the same record as Gerry Di Nardo?

The Patriots under Bill Bellacheat are having one of the greatest NFL seasons ever... and everyone knows how well it turned out to hire one of his asst's to a long-term contract (isn't that right Notre Dame?).
